Intel predicts a $7 trillion economy for self-driving vehicles
The race to be the first to deploy autonomous vehicles is on among carmakers, emerging startups, and tech giants. Amid this constant news cycle of deals and drama, the purpose of all of it can get lost — or at least a bit muddied. What exactly are these companies racing for?

How will maintenance change with the autonomous vehicle?
All machines eventually break down. Self-driving vehicles are no exception.
Autonomous vehicles pose two problems for the future of vehicles. The removal of the driver means there is no person providing feedback on how the vehicle performs over time. You are removing the point-person who says "something feels wrong, this needs to be checked out." An autonomous truck could easily arrive at its destination with one fewer wheels than it left with at its origin without recognizing there is a problem.

Domino's has already outperformed every tech stock, now robots will deliver its pizzas
Over the last decade, the stock price of Domino's Pizza has crushed that of Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook mainly because it stopped making pizza that tasted like cardboard. Now it's innovating on the labor front with plans to test robots as substitutes for your friendly pizza delivery guy. "With our growth plans over the next five to 10 years, we simply won't have enough delivery drivers if we do not look to add to our fleet through initiatives such as this," Domino's chief executive said in a statement announcing the pilot program.

AImotive aims to convert regular cars into driverless ones inexpensively
The AImotive office is in a small converted house at the end of a quiet residential street in sunny Mountain View, spitting distance from Google's headquarters. Outside is a branded Toyota Prius covered in cameras, one of three autonomous cars the Hungarian company is testing in the sleepy neighborhood. It's a popular testing ground: one of Google's driverless cars, now operating under spin-out company Waymo, zips past the office each lunchtime.

China is more eager for self-driving cars than western countries
Chinese consumers are more interested in autonomous driving technology than anyone else.
The auto market in China is having an increasingly important effect on the bottom line for all automakers worldwide as it continues to grow. Just look at examples like General Motors' strong recent growth or Porsche's expanding sales. In addition to being vital for business, some industry watchers think the nation's huge consumer force might just make it the premier place for automatic driving technology to prosper more quickly than in any other market.

The Toyota Tacoma has been a top pick among truck buyers in the market for a midsize truck for many years. Originally introduced in 1995 as a compact truck, it was enlarged to be classified as a midsize model in 2005. The 2019 Toyota Tacoma is included in the model's third generation, and it offers many updates to the safety features, performance capabilities and trim-specific features. Our Toyota sales team is eager to tell you more about the updates that have been made to the new Tacoma and to get you on the road for a test drive in your preferred trims.
Before you decide with certainty if the 2019 Toyota Tacoma is right for you, you will need to learn about the trim variations as well as their standard and optional features. The trims for 2019 include the SR, the SR5, the TRD Sport, the TRD Off-Road, the Limited and the TRD Pro. Multiple cab configurations are available as well, including an access cab and a double cab. Features vary based on your desired trim, and some of the equipment that you may enjoy in your new Tacoma truck include automatic climate control, a wireless charging station, cloth or leather seats, a heated steering wheel with mounted controls, a leather steering wheel and shifting knob, power windows with one-touch functionality, speed-sensitive door locks, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, HomeLink, a navigation system, a superior sound system, an infotainment system with a color display screen, USB ports, hidden storage areas, power-adjusting sideview mirrors, daytime running headlights, privacy glass and a few additional features. When you contact our Toyota sales reps for more information about the 2019 Tacoma trims, you can set up a time for a test drive appointment.
While the 2019 Toyota Tacoma is a smaller truck, it has exceptional power and performance capabilities that make this truck suitable for commuting and for your weekend adventures. Several powertrains are available for the new model year depending on the trim that you prefer. One Tacoma powertrain option is a 2.7-liter, 4-cylinder engine that registers with 159 horsepower and 180 foot-pounds for torque. Another option is a 3.5-liter, V6 engine with 278 horsepower and 265 foot-pounds for torque. These and other powertrains are mated with an automatic or manual transmission, intelligent variable valve timing, returned and high-performance Fox shocks, front coils, rear leaf springs, 31-inch all-terrain tires, computer-controlled multi-speed ascent and descent through Crawl Control, bypass zones for the shocks, rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, electric power steering and several other features. By visiting our Toyota dealership soon, you can test several powertrains to find the right one for you.
The 2019 Toyota Tacoma is loaded with many carryover safety features from the 2018 model, and it has a few new standard or optional features. For example, all Tacoma trims this year will include the Safety Sense P suite, which includes adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, a lane departure warning, pedestrian detection and a pre-collision warning. The Star Safety System is also standard, and it includes smart-stop technology, anti-lock brakes, stability and traction management and electronic brakeforce distribution. Many additional safety features are in the new Tacoma as well, such as multiple advanced airbags, child safety LATCH features, 3-point safety harnesses, a tire pressure monitoring system with tire-specific details, hill start assist and more.

Who is Eugene Cresto? Regular readers have seen him several times in Friendly Encounters with many celebrities. The guy is everywhere meeting everyone. I meet a ton of celebs, but Eugene has beaten me to some several times.
At the recent Flashback Weekend, Eugene pulled a big blade on me. Perhaps I beat him to one too many celebrities? Perhaps he wanted to take over this site (Eugene's Beat?)?
He's a good dude, often taking his two daughters with him to meet the celebrities. (Hmm maybe he just found very cheap labor to take all of the pictures?) If you follow him on social media, you'd see he loves his kids and they have a lot of fun together.
I always look forward to seeing Eugene at these events, even when he threatens to slit my throat. It's always fun to see which celebs he is meeting. Most of the time, we run parallel courses. (Great minds thinking alike?).
Eugene might not be an "official" celebrity, but neither am I. Still, we both get a fair amount of recognition at these events. Maybe Eugene and I should set up our own both. Who wouldn't want a dual-photo op with Eugene and Johngy?

This list of registered voters came from a small booklet with the title; "Enrollment List." This is dated before the ratification of the Nineteen Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, so it includes only men.
Some of the streets that were in the Town of Greece in 1917 are now in the City of Rochester. That is because the City was still increasing in size at that time.
The spellings on this page are exactly as they are in the booklet. It is noted that spellings of streets vary in the book so it is very possible that names may also be misspelled.


"Quantico" ended its 3-season run on ABC in steady fashion Friday night, scoring the same 0.4 rating in adults 18-49 as it had the previous several weeks, and matched its season average as well.
The same could not be said for the finale of "What Would You Do?," though, which was down a tenth from a 0.5 to a 0.4. Meanwhile, "20/20" maintained a 0.5 for the second week in a row.
On NBC, an "American Ninja Warrior" encore and a new episode of "Dateline" both tied for the top spot of the night in adults 18-49 with a pair of 0.6s. CBS' "Whistleblower" held steady with another 0.4, while "TKO: Total Knock Out" returned with the same 0.6 as its previous episode. The CW's "Masters of Illusion" also stayed even with a 0.2.


All that stuff they throw at you on aircraft about long-haul flights and deep vein thrombosis? It's not urban legend. Or old wive's tales. Or scaremongering. Or a cunning way to make you look ridiculous while waving your feet in the air.
Deep vein thrombosis really hurts. Your calf builds up quite ridiculous amounts of pressure, and putting foot to floor after having it elevated invokes the Screaming Agony Death Type Three.
Developing the bloody thing on the flight out to Australia is neatly timed to give you a "gosh, sprained calf" pain which increases only in gradual increments, reaching its full apotheosis in Johannesburg airport after the 14-hour return flight, as you hobble at frantic speeds down the approximately six million miles of Oliver Tambo airport to catch, with a 20-minute window, the replacement connection you've been rebooked on after missing your actual Cape Town connection after high winds in Sydney. At this stage, "desperate to get home" is a thundering understatement.
The ultrasound with which they prod your leg to determine the existence of the doomful blood clot lurking behind your knee is quite ridiculously cool, particularly as operated by the little ultrasound goddess on whose slightest pronouncements doctors hang.
Hospitals are not, contrary to vague expectation, designed to be about your comfort. They are designed to be about your treatment. Your actual comfort and reassurance does happen, but it's very clearly secondary on the priority list of all these incredibly busy people whose actual allegiance is to this enormous unwieldy structure full of important rules.
The above notwithstanding, a lot of hospital staff are actually lovely and empathetic and do deal with your comfort. Eventually.
Hospital is mostly about waiting around. After ten days this gets tired.
If you are a generally unfit sort of person prone to bodily ills, and have moreover trotted obliviously around Australia on a deep vein thrombosis for ten days, you will inevitably develop complications. This means that a few nameless bits of the clot have detached themselves from their spawning ground behind the knee, and have wandered vaguely through the heart and into your lungs, where they've stuck. This causes small sections of collapsed lung, chest pain, shortness of breath, your doctor to put his head into his hands helplessly, and a disconcertingly sudden transfer to the ICU with strict instructions not to move.
If you have multiple pulmonary embolisms, the ICU is an incredibly reassuring place to be. It is also bedlam, filled with noise, chatting staff, beeping machines, and the continual entry and exit of patients.
Hospitals are not restful places. Fortunately their drugs are good.
Pain and concern about collapsed lungs are surprisingly distractable by cool machines, particularly the ones which are a cross between alien tech and the X-Files, and where they give you weird side-effect sensations by pumping you full of iodine.
Avoid any illness which requires you to have blood taken through a pulse point. It hurts like hell and damnation.
Friends are absolutely the only way to retain sanity through a ten-day hospital stay. I am blessed with incredible friends, whose dedication to visits in the teeth of my bored and disconsolate growling, has been wonderful and miraculous.
"Medical aid" is a swear word until you're in hospital for ten days.
There is a bizarre comfort knowing that you can tick the "injury on duty" box on your leave form when you eventually get back to work.
Hospital food is inventively awful.
When it comes to the crunch, the Evil Landlord is actually cheerfully matter-of-fact about being asked to go through a lady's underwear drawer in order to bring fresh underwear to hospitalised housemates.
The list of foods you can't eat while on Warfarin is quite bizarre.
Ten days of internet absence, apart from the withdrawal symptoms, generates a ridiculous quantity of livejournal spam, mostly in Russian.
It's really worth moving around a lot on long haul flights.
The jolly wintry LiveJournal header bar mocks me, it does, what with its jolly snowman and pretty snowflakes and its gently curvy landscape under snow. (a) It's bloody hot here, and I'm post-gastric and very fragile, and (b) my poor dear mother is stuck in London under umpteen feet of snow, her flight to Cape Town last night having coincided, with mathematical precision, with Heathrow closing down for 24 hours because of snow on the runways. The first replacement flight they can offer her is the 24th December, thus neatly knocking out half of her fairly short holiday. I think that "I'm miffed" is not only an understatement, it's a fractional stab at what she must be feeling.
I hate to break it to you, Britain, but this feathery white stuff falls out of the sky approximately annually, and proceeds to pile up into pretty, incommodious drifts in a fairly predictable and characteristic fashion. It may also have escaped your attention that you're a major international hub for air travel and its associated climate-destroying effects, to the extent where flying into Heathrow always gives me chills simply because of the number of planes I can count in the sky with mine. (They're awfully close and move awfully fast and even insane amphetamine-laced air traffic controllers have to nod sometimes, and besides, the mere fact that there are eight other airborne planes within view as we circle means there are too bloody many of us and we travel too bloody often in insanely wasteful and clumsy ways). The two above effects being noted, do you think it's too much to hope that you'd have something vaguely resembling a crisis plan in place, one which doesn't involve thousands of people sleeping on the floor in your incredibly ugly and rather filthy terminals? Particularly since air travel has a rampaging carbon footprint in giant hobnailed boots, which in turn contributes to global warming and all its merry effects, such as wilder weather extremes and, for example, ALL THIS BLOODY SNOW.
I hasten to add that my poor dear mother is not, in fact, sleeping on the floor in Heathrow, she fortunately has friends nearby and is being put up in considerably more comfort. But I resent being deprived of six days of her company by a noxious confluence of overpopulation, inefficiency and climate change. It pushes all my buttons at once, with a fine, ham-fisted indifference. Phooey.
A slightly tragic realisation may, however, have arisen out of said Sunday braai. I'm actually quite used to the experience of staggering through a rather high proportion of Monday mornings with an epic and crippling sinus headache: we have a regular Monday morning meeting, and I tend to associate it with headaches to a statistically significant extent. I'd always put it down to (a) hangover, and (b) general resentment of Mondays. However, I really don't tipple with sufficient abandon to result in hangovers, which in any case shouldn't really infect my sinuses, and the same goes for work-loathing - tension headache, yes, sinus headache, unlikely. Sid is evil, but not that evil. No, I think it's fairly simple: I'm reacting to the wood smoke. It's inflaming my sinuses, which are merrily becoming infected and crippling me to the usual plan, with a side order of Glands. This is a horrible thing to contemplate. I'm really only an imitation South African, but I do enjoy our Sunday evening braais in summer, and resent the prospect of spending future iterations in the kitchen, with my head in a paper bag.
Truly lovely weekend notwithstanding, it's been a fairly horrible week. I am very tired and sinusy; I am enmeshed in the labyrinthine processes of insurance protocols after that stupid little accident the other week while I was so 'fluey; and I still haven't marked all these Frankenstein scripts, which seem to be multiplying on some kind of moebius principle I somewhat resent. Also, by way of a kicker, the nice agent lady in France mailed me yesterday to say that my tenants are suddenly baling after three months in the house, and that she doesn't want to carry on representing it as a rental property, it's not worth her while. She'll try and sell it for me if I want to, but no more renting. Bleah. Trying to work out if it's worth it. In French.
All this is giving me the most unlikely and (generally) horrible dreams. Night before last it was an extended cuddle session with, for some reason, Keanu Reeves, who was kinda cute, but which mostly caused angst and depression because he played mad amounts of polo and now I had to pretend to be enthusiastic about riding horses. Last night was another of those oh god I've screwed up irrevocably dreams, in this case by not realising that the man under the floorboards was there when I ran the giant machine which wound him in ropes around a floor joist and then perforated him all over with enormous sharpened metal pins. At some point he became me, and I had to watch my body slowly shredding and dissolving because of all the perforations. I'm a bit fragile this morning.
Today was my first seminar meeting, one of the Victorian literature ones I used to teach, which I've resurrected by way of keeping me sane. Just before I headed off to the venue I realised that the pile of class handouts I'd carefully had copied last week each had an extra page. This turned out to be because I'd accidentally included a faculty agenda in the pile of masters when I took it to the copiers, and no-one actually looked at it during the copying process to realise that the one page was an error. I looked for that agenda everywhere, too. 25 extra, useless copies. This sad little tale tells you absolutely everything you need to know about the dual or triple professional existence I try to lead at the moment, its inherent antagonisms and its occasionally heart-stopping failures. (It could easily have been a deeply confidential document, and I might easily not have noticed until I'd handed it out to the class). We won't get onto the unhappy need to activate Paper-Writing Brain in the presence of Curriculum Advice Lack Of Brain. It's just sad. No-one wins.
On the upside, talking about having your mind thoroughly bent, we saw Inception yesterday. Oo, er. And possibly Cor! or Lawks! Damned good film: intelligently scripted, conceptually interesting, beautifully cast. I am a complete and total sucker for anything about dreams, given not only my own frenetic dream life but my literary adherence to Lewis Carroll, Lord Dunsany et al, but this is particularly well done. The basic heist-movie framework, and the teamwork that entails, provides a solid frame for all the weird dreamy stuff, which is in the event convincing and pleasingly unreal. I could have done with less of the noisy masonry collapses, but I suppose everyone's version of dream-dissolution differs. I also loved the not-quite-openendedness of the last image. Clever. I may need to rewatch it to work out the finer details of the various kicks, but this is no hardship at all. Cool film. Great cast. Recommended.


Why Has Your Husband Changed So Much?
Does your husband ever seem like he's become a totally different guy?
It might sound like I'm about to launch into a creepy "Jekyll and Hyde" story for Halloween. But I actually want to talk to you today about the real-life power of stress and how it affects your marriage in ways you may not be aware of.
This article is for you if you've ever wondered "What happened to the great guy I fell in love with?" The answer is probably not what you think.
Before we dive in, though, let's clarify the intention of this article. My advice here is not for you if you're in a situation involving dire issues like abuse or addiction. If you ever find yourself saying things like "My husband is a great guy, except when he loses his temper" or "He has a totally different personality when he's using," then please consider seeking professional help.
First, let's think back to when you and your husband first became romantically involved. You were totally new to each other, which really lit up your brains. He was paying lots of attention to you, and you to him. So you both felt seen and appreciated. If neither of you had children from previous relationships or other family obligations (like an aging parent), the beginning of your relationship may have also been a more carefree and less stressful time in your life.
Fast-forward to today. You probably have many more demands on your time due to your family and your careers. That makes you feel more stressed, which in turn makes it much more difficult to emotionally connect. You've quit looking deeply into each other's eyes because you're too busy looking deeply into your phones. All of those qualities that seemed so intriguing about him at first are now old hat. Instead, you notice more of his faults — his abrupt tone, lack of helpfulness, emotional distance — and they're driving you crazy!
So what's going on here? Has he really turned into a terrible person? You'll be relieved to know that this is highly unlikely. When you're overwhelmed with stress, you get worse at noticing the good things about your husband. At the same time, you become super-attuned to anything negative about him. If he's super stressed, he's doing the same thing too! This is just how our brains are wired. Our ability to react swiftly to threats helped us survive as a species. But it's not so handy in a modern marriage between two stressed people. One partner's mistakes or slights can feel threatening to the other one. If you feel quick to anger or criticize, part of you is just trying to protect yourself.
Just knowing that your stressed-out brain might be playing tricks on you can start defusing tensions with your husband. Here are a couple of other things than can help as well.
Identify the sources of your individual stress. Are you sleep deprived, eating junk foods, or just plain lonely? Do what you can to bring your own stress down by making small changes like getting an extra hour of sleep or making sure you're spending some time connecting with each other during the week. Sneak in the little things that keep love strong, like asking about each other's days and marking special occasions. It may not seem like much, but can make a big difference over time.
It's hard to start treating each other more lovingly if you don't address the underlying stress that's causing you to be critical and defensive.Take a hard look at your priorities as a family and seek ways to ease the pressure on you both. Do you need to reduce the kids' activities so that you all have more time together? Can you rethink your budget so that you can work less or pursue jobs that aren't as demanding.
Try these strategies and you'll start seeing more of the man you fell in love with and less of that irritating guy who never does anything right. If the tips in this article are useful for you, can find many more like them in my book Strong Women, Strong Love.

Anna Faris' Son Jack Is Her Pride and Joy! Meet the 'Mom' Alum's Only Child With Ex Chris Pratt

Anna Faris doesn't have to think twice about making decisions that benefit her son. Though the Mom alum has a ton of professional responsibilities as a Hollywood star, she's willing to drop anything when it comes to her only child, Jack Pratt.
Parenthood has been Anna's No.1 priority ever since she welcomed Jack with ex-husband Chris Pratt in 2012. The Scary Movie actress said her "identity [changed]" as a woman the moment her little bundle of joy came into her life.
All About Mickey Guyton's Son Grayson With Husband Grant Savoy
"You are now a mom, sort of the most important job in the world, and the pressure and the guilt and all the things that are wrapped up in that. I don't think anyone can really prepare you for [motherhood] ― even though they try," she told the Huffington Post in January 2016. "I definitely grappled with the idea of 'Who am I now?' The way I describe it is like a tidal wave. There was before the tidal wave, and there's after the tidal wave."
Anna's job as a mother became even more important when she and Chris ended their marriage after eight years together in August 2017. The House Bunny star shifted her focus from raising her little man to coparenting with the Guardians of the Galaxy actor as amicably as possible. Fortunately, open "communication" has been the key for Anna and Chris.
"We reiterate that there aren't rules to this," the blonde beauty shared with Women's Health in April 2018. "We have a lot of love and friendship, and our big goal is to protect Jack. I cherish my family, my close friends, my child ― that makes the rest of it worth it."
Meet Neil Patrick Harris' 2 Kids With David Burtka
In the years since their split, Anna and Chris have done a fabulous job coparenting their son. Even though both have moved on, they continue to put their differences aside for the sake of their child. Chris is married to wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, while Anna is wed to her third husband, Mike Barrett. The actress revealed the two secretly "eloped" during a July 2021 episode of "Anna Faris Is Unqualified." Chris and Katherine share two children, daughters Lyla and Eloise Christina.
Previously speaking on her podcast, Anna explained why raising her son with her ex has been easier than she ever imagined. "We have sort of the luxury of circumstance. You know, we are both in other loving relationships," she said in 2019. "[But] Chris and I work really hard [to coparent] because we have Jack. That is sort of the long game idea and making sure Jack is really happy, which makes us really happy."
Adoring Dad Bradley Cooper's Cutest Public Appearances With Daughter Lea
Jack has a sweet relationship with his half-sisters, Lyla and Eloise. The Jurassic World: Dominion actor posted a rare photo with his son and his eldest daughter snuggling up to him at home in April 2021. The siblings also stepped out with their father one month prior, holding hands as they took a stroll in California's Pacific Palisades neighborhood. Watching Jack become a doting big brother is just one of the reasons Chris is open to having more children in the future.
"I would love to have more, as many as the man upstairs will provide," the Minnesota native told E! News in July 2021. "We'll do it. I'll probably have to talk to Katherine about that, but my plan is, let's go."

Jack Pratt
Anna welcomed her beloved kiddo with Chris on August 25, 2012. Jack was born prematurely, arriving "10 weeks" before his due date. As Chris revealed during an interview with E! News in March 2020, "Anna went into labor at 30 weeks and he had some issues."
"[Jack] was in intensive care for a month. He had very serious complications, and it was a lot of prayers and a lot of promises and negotiations with God to save my son," the Jurassic World star explained. Anna also opened up about Jack's premature birth in her 2017 book Unqualified.
"When you have a baby in the NICU, every parent has the same question every day: 'When can we take him home?' It's what every family wants to know, and the nurses always say the same thing: 'We don't know,'" she penned. "Jack spent 3 1/2 weeks in the hospital because we couldn't take him home until he could eat on his own. It was an emotionally exhausting month — worrying about Jack and watching nurses poke and prod his gangly limbs with his impossibly tiny diapers that were the size of a Kleenex."
Fortunately, Jack is doing extremely well as a young boy. "Today, Jack is at a beautiful age," the proud mama gushed in her memoir. "He has some temper tantrums occasionally, but he's a really good kid and he's happy and delicious and likes cuddles."
In addition to his sweet personality, Anna revealed her son is full of jokes. "He's a total ham," she marveled to the Huffington Post. "I get a kick out of him."
Thanks to Anna and Chris, there's no doubt Jack is going to grow up to be an amazing young man!

Dressed For Success
By Phebe Wahl By Phebe Wahl | March 5, 2019 | Style & Beauty
A fixture in Philadelphia fashion, frock star Nicole Miller is still going strong almost four decades after founding her line.
"I always had French dolls because my mother wouldn't buy American dolls," says fashion designer Nicole Miller. "She was quite the fashion plate," the petite powerhouse says of her French mother, who raised Miller with a sense of sartorial savoir-faire and followed her familial fashion education with studies at both the Rhode Island School of Design and Chambre Syndicale de La Haute Couture in Paris. Miller's artistic sensibilities honed at RISD, combined with couture techniques and tailoring learned in Paris, are the trademarks that have earned her a fevered following for several decades running.
In 1982 Miller launched her eponymous line (nicolemiller.com) with the help of business partner Bud Konheim. Known for its figure-flattering dresses, the label was a fast success. "We didn't start off doing runway shows," she says of her hard work. "I made a dress that became the trend of the season, and literally everybody in New York had one— everybody everywhere had one," she says.
"That dress—a blouson smocked hip with very tiny buttons on the shoulder—really launched the business because we sold so many of them that it gave us enough cash flow to keep going." Today, the brand offers both the collection and atelier, as well as shoes, jewelry, activewear, home, kitchen and bath, and counts celebrity fans ranging from Angelina Jolie to Blake Lively and Beyoncé.
When asked how she keeps her aesthetic fresh and relevant after all these years, Miller attributes her success to both her couture experience and the company she keeps. "I am really a designer, which a lot of people are not," she says. "I feel like when you're a female, and you're dressing yourself, you're always sort of dissatisfied, so you're always sort of looking for something different," says Miller. "I never wanted the brand to get old, so I feel like I've always had young assistants and designers. I feel like they help me keep current," she says, sharing that past mentees include Zac Posen, as well as others. Not that Miller shows any signs of slowing down herself. She still is superactive—both in the cutting room and outside the office. "I kiteboard, wakeboard, water ski, snow ski, snowboard, all those," she says.
Miller's roots run deep in Philadelphia. "I have two relatives that were mayors there back in the 1700s," she says, also noting that she makes it a point to attend events in Philadelphia often. "I'm always impressed with what these women do. I think Philadelphia breeds that sort of independent streak and strong females."
To Konheim, the label's success all boils down to something quite simple in fact: "I have been doing this since 1955, so I have seen a lot. One thing that hasn't changed in 5,000 years of recorded history: human nature. Everyone is looking for something that makes them happy. We are successful when we make the people happy. It is as simple as that. There is a happiness quotient, and we seemed to have figured that out. Mary's stores in Philadelphia are so successful because she makes people feel good," Konheim says of owner Mary Dougherty. Her Manayunk boutique is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and the Bellevue shop is turning 22. "When Mary has a party, they all want to come." this past November was no exception, when Miller and her team painted the town green, along with top players from the Philadelphia Eagles, at the 5th Annual Fashion Touchdown benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters. The event raised over a half-million dollars for the organization.
Timed with the Manayunk store's 25th anniversary, Drexel University is hosting a Nicole Miller retrospective April 12 to Aug. 30. The free exhibition, staged inside the URBN Center's Fox Historic Costume Collection gallery, is filled with fashion, bridalwear, Philadelphia-themed prints, photographs and other fun ephemera taken from Dougherty's archives. "The Nicole Miller stores have played such a unique role in the social activities of the region," says Clare Sauro, director and chief curator at FHCC. "We've taken a distinctly Philadelphia approach to the Nicole Miller brand with this exhibit."
"Philadelphia is truly the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly A ection," Dougherty says. "Our stores wouldn't be the success they are without the loyalty of our incredible staff , interns, customers—and the support of the local community—for over 25 years," she says. "We pride ourselves in knowing our customers' dress sizes, where their kids go to school, charities they are involved with, wedding anniversaries, as well as their favorite restaurants. Our stores have always been a place where they feel connected personally and know we pay attention to every detail to make them feel special when they walk through our door."

Omnibus elections bill includes felon voting rights, automatic voter registration
House Photography file photo
Restoration of voting rights for felons who have completed their time behind bars, automatic voter registration and statewide early voting are among measures included in the omnibus elections bill that cleared its first House hurdle on Wednesday.
HF1603, sponsored by Rep. Raymond Dehn (DFL-Mpls), includes roughly two-dozen elections-related measures that would impact the way Minnesotans register to vote, cast absentee ballots, change how candidates can spend funds on security, and would add the state to a growing group of states attempting to move toward awarding Electoral College votes based on the outcome of the national popular vote.
Comprised of bills heard previously in the House Subcommittee on Elections, the proposed legislation was approved, as amended, on a 5-3 party-line vote. It now heads to the House Government Operations Committee and is expected to eventually be incorporated in the omnibus state government finance bill, Dehn said.

Q: Is there a finite vector subspace over the reals? I cannot think of a finite vector space over the reals, because we must sum these two elements and get a new element also in the vector space. And over the reals, I can't think of a sum that, at some point, will return to a previous vector on the subspace.
Am I right? It also means that there's no finite vector space over the reals, right?

A: There is exactly one finite vector space over the reals: $\{0\}$. If you have any other vector space, it has to have cardinality (at least) that of the real numbers, since with a little bit of care you can produce an injective map from $\mathbb{R}$ into your vector space $V$ (think of using the scalars times any non-zero vector).

A: Yes, there is one (and up to isomorphy only one) finite vector space over the reals, namely $\{0\}$.
If there exists an element $x\in V$ with $x \neq 0$, then the vector space axioms force
$$
(a-b) x \neq 0
$$
for distinct $a,b \in \Bbb{R}$, because
$$
(a-b)^{-1} \cdot (a-b)x = x \neq 0.
$$
But this yields $ax \neq bx$, so that the set
$$
\{a x \mid x \in \Bbb{R}\}\subset V
$$
is infinite (even uncountable).

HAHA don't make me post a screen shot!
I've seen way higher on some guys that don't post much...probably too busy riding. At least one poster on here hit his 19K mile desmo job a couple months ago.
I was hoping to hear at least 40k with little to no problems!
I have a Dec 14 Hyper....just clocked up 23742 klms or 14752 mls.
Only real problem was the rear shock that had to be replaced at around 19000 klms. My issue is I wanted it fixed asap and it took 10 days (mainly waiting on parts).
I expect to see 30000 klms (demso service) before the bike is a full year old.
What failed about the shock?
Coming back from a ride I began to notice a rattle in the rear end (thought I was dreaming). At home I got off the bike and put weight on the rear to see if I could find the noise...it became clear that the bike was riding on the spring and that the shock was doing nothing in compression or at release.
Dealer couldn't tell me what went wrong but clearly something inside had given way. Took 10 days for a replacement to come from Italy. All done under warranty.
Glad to hear it was covered. Still was a PITA I'm sure!
Anyone want to update their mileage? I guess I'm really looking to see people who have 30 or 40k relatively carefree miles.

66% health workers had normal, mild post-vaccination symptoms: Survey
By adminPosted on February 14, 2021 February 14, 2021
The survey, which included 5,396 healthcare staff, famous that signs weren't extreme and that 80% returned to work the subsequent day.
Facet-effects after COVID-19 vaccination — 'reactogenicity' in medical linguistic — was reported in 66% of the healthcare staff, which principally subside inside a day of their onset, mentioned a survey performed by famous public well being specialists for the Kochi chapter of the Indian Medical Affiliation (IMA). A complete of 5,396 healthcare professionals throughout India, who had obtained COVID-19 vaccines had been surveyed for the research, which was led by Dr Rajeev Jayadevan, a gastroenterologist and former president of IMA Cochin.
Within the survey, the respondents within the survey said that essentially the most generally reported signs they skilled after immunisation had been Myalgia or ache within the muscle (44%), fever (34%), headache (28%), native ache on the injection web site (27%), joint ache (12%), nausea (8%) and Diarrhoea (3%). Tiredness (45%) was essentially the most prevailing signs. "The prevalence of different signs comparable to sore throat, insomnia, giddiness, rigour, an allergic rash, chills, vomiting, syncope had been reported 1% or much less circumstances," research mentioned.
It additionally famous that the signs reported by the respondents weren't extreme in nature or required hospitalisation. In addition to, the survey additionally identified that in 90% of the circumstances, the signs had been both milder than anticipated or met the expectation of the vaccine recipient. Consultants have additionally identified that experiencing side-effects is regular in any vaccine.

Thanks Dr Ramesh Shenoy & Ms Anithadevi TS https://t.co/DzIaiAm2IN pic.twitter.com/wXKM6MU0Gr
— Rajeev Jayadevan (@RajeevJayadevan) February 13, 2021
In the meantime, the survey illustrated that unwanted side effects amongst many of the respondents didn't final past the period of 24 hours of the onset. "Thirty-seven per cent (1,225) of the respondents revealed that their signs didn't delay greater than a day whereas 31% confirmed that their signs lingered for 48 hours, whereas solely 6% claimed that their signs stretched past the period of 48 hours," the survey confirmed.
Talking to IANS, Dr Rajeev Jayadevan, who is among the researchers of the survey, mentioned that one of many key takeaways from the survey is that vaccines are secure and there's no must worry that it's going to hurt ones' physique.
"If over 5,000 individuals who took it (vaccines) and reported no major problem, then that may be a appreciable reassurance that most people can take the vaccine," he mentioned.
One other key discovering of the survey was the linear correlation between age and post-vaccination signs advised that the reactogenicity of the vaccine declined with age; means the possibility of getting post-vaccination signs decreased with advancing of age.
The frequency of signs was discovered highest, 81.34%, in respondents aged between 20-29 years adopted by 30-39 years (79.57%), 40-49 years (67.94%), 50-59 years (58.23%), 60-69 years (44.76%), 70-79 years (33.73%), and 80-89 years (7.43%).
Jayadevan mentioned that youthful individuals produce numerous inflammatory cytokines, which elicit reactogenicity (signs). This is the reason they've a vigorous response to the vaccines, whereas it's discovered decrease within the elder inhabitants. Nevertheless, he added that the reactogenicity is just not thought-about a dependable signal of manufacturing antibodies.
"There's a false impression amongst individuals and even healthcare professionals who consider that the signs are related to the event of antibodies. Everybody responds in a different way to the vaccines and elicit diverse ranges of reactogenicity relying upon age and different elements at play. It can't be thought-about as an indication to find out that one's physique is producing an immune response to the vaccines," Jayadevan defined.
Dr Ramesh Shenoy, one other writer of the survey, who's a senior radiologist at a hospital in Kochi, Kerala, mentioned that the conclusions derived from the survey could possibly be that the vaccines are secure whereas its side-effects are gentle in nature and short-lived. "The testimonies of the two-third of the respondents vouch for it," he added.

I love Derek Landy's writing – he's got a great handle on all things supernatural, and his books have plenty of action, but he also has a brilliant turn of phrase and adds humour to what still are pretty gory books.
I first picked up Demon Road after seeing it advertised at YALC 2015, and as someone who loved the first few series of Supernatural, it was a welcome return to demons, witches and vampires. Amber is a great character – a sullen teen discovering the truth about her family and that she is an honest to goodness demon – and all the things that go along with it!
Desolation is just as good – Amber and her companion, Milo, are still travelling the back roads of the USA, trying to get to Desolation Hill, a place they can't be tracked by the Hounds of Hell – but they walk right into another heap of Supernatural nastiness – just how will they get out of this one??
This book – and the first book – is compulsive reading. The action comes thick and fast, but there is that deft touch of humour and a caricature of a bad guy to keep it just on the right side of dark. It's well worth picking up the trilogy (American Monsters, book 3, is out now), as you could read it all one after the other and not be bored.
Note: I received a copy of the book via Netgalley for review purposes. All opinions are, as ever, my own.

I'm co-founder of Miss Miyagi, a 2.0 real-estate project manager who believes that cities need to be built by its users, rather than the present amalgam of commercial real-estate developers. I co-ordinate and support alternative real-estate projects developed by the actual end-users themselves. I live on De Centrale Werkplaatsen site, where I also co-initiated and co-ordinated the project HAL 5 and the temporary participatory park Central Park 3010. I'm also Project Co-ordinator for De Hoorn, which is where Miss Miyagi is based. I've travelled lived and worked abroad a lot in the past, but also enjoy actively engaging with the eco-systems in my close surroundings. It appears that most of the things I do start with co-.
Leuven is a great place to live in, and I really enjoy the short chains in this small eco-system. I'm guessing most of the Leuven Hundreds know each other pretty well already – that's a pleasant and practical thought, but maybe not necessarily the best setting for great new ideas, and unfortunately Leuven has little to no "edge". The City has been in "clean-up" mode for the past ten years, resulting in the wipe-out of places like the nightclub Silo, and creative office spaces in Hotel Hungaria.
We urgently need more affordable, undefined spaces for experimentation, friction, and urbanity.
The mission statement of Miss Miyagi is strongly influenced by the errors found in the urban development of Leuven, but which are not necessarily unique to the city per se. Leuven's urbanity is at stake because the city is being built by bankers, contract builders or other self-declared real-estate developers. We urgently need more affordable, undefined spaces for experimentation, friction, and urbanity.
I would show them the full potential of our city, found in different under-developed places: on top of the former Silo and Brouwerij De Dijle in the Vaartkom neighbourhood, on top of the empty university hospital UZ Leuven, in the abandoned Hal9… Sadly, I'm not sure I'd still want to take them back to these same places in ten years' time.
The saying that Café De Lantaarn has a direct pipeline to the Stella Artois brewery is unfortunately an urban myth – but the fact that gents can pee straight in to the Dyle from the toilets of that same café is not. I enjoy such historical self-made solutions that don't necessarily comply with all the city regulations.

Tapping is the New Clicking as FarmVille Launches on iPad

This is Zynga's first iPad-specific release, and allows users to play and log in to their Facebook account and continue their Facebook FarmVille game wherever they have their iPad.

Warplanes: The Secret Predator Blasts Off
April 10, 2009: General Atomics, the developer and manufacturer of the Predator, let slip that the larger, jet powered "Predator C" had finally, after two years of delays, had its first flight recently. Not to be confused with the MQ-1C Sky Warrior, Predator C is a project that was started before Sky Warrior, and has taken much longer to get off the ground.
Predator C is a larger, jet powered version of the five ton Predator B, and has long been delayed in development. It was supposed to start flight tests by the end of 2006, but that was pushed into 2007, and then 2008. The Predator B costs about seven million dollars each, and the Predator C is expected to weigh twice as much, and cost three times as much. But that will still be about half the cost of a 13 ton Global Hawk.
The Predator C is expected to deliver about 85 percent of the performance of the Global Hawk, at about half the price. To compete with this, there is a "Global Hawk Lite" in development. The Predator C is designed to fly high (up to 60,000 feet) and cross oceans. Officially, Predator C doesn't exist, and is a "black" (secret) program. But it's an open secret
Most of the cost of these "strategic UAVs" is in the space satellite grade sensors. The MQ-4 Global Hawk, with minimal electronics, costs about $40 million. But you can easily add over $60 million worth of satellite grade gear to either a $20 million Predator C, or a $40 million Global Hawk. Thus Global Atomics is trying to come up with a lot of improved features (more reliable, easier to maintain, cheaper to run) for their Global Hawk competitor.

Camera found on Zolotaryov's body may actually be Thibeaux-Brignolle's camera
Author Topic: Camera found on Zolotaryov's body may actually be Thibeaux-Brignolle's camera (Read 1024 times)
Zozzle
Don't know if this has been brought up before, but here is my thesis:
Lets start with the facts:
1. There is a roll of film of an unknown shooter, but it is believed to be that of Thibeaux-Brignolle:
https://dyatlovpass.com/camera-thibeaux-brignolle
2. This roll of film wasn't inside a camera but inside the groups common bag of stuff.
3. It is therefore currently assumed that Thibeaux-Brignolle had a camera, but it got lost or not registered as evidence.
4. A camera, identified as Zolotaryov's with a nearly full film of images taken before the expedition was found in the tent. He didn't use that camera on this trek.
5. Zolotaryov was also found with a camera around his neck, the film got severely damaged.
I propose that this camera was actually that of Thibeaux-Brignolle.
Why would Zolotaryov bring two cameras on the trip but never use them? I suggest he only brought the one in the tent but didn't use it because the film was already full and he didn't bring any extras.
Thibeaux-Brignolle was a jokester and liked to be photographed. He quickly made friends with Zolotaryov and they took some pictures of each other.
Frame no. 10 was not a disgruntled or tired Zolotaryov, but actually his attempt to strike a pose. Back then it was still more common, esp. with older people to keep a stern look when being photographed.
Zolotaryov was using the camera from Frame No 11 onwards. Some pictures are blurry because he didn't know how to operate it in the beginning.
The Film was changed after these pictures. Maybe Thibeaux-Brignolle was showing Zolotaryov how to do it.
It is assumed that Thibeaux-Brignolle and Zolotaryov were outside together on the evening of 1st February, because they had shoes on. This may also be a clue that they had become friends.
Zolotaryov still had the camera on his person when the disaster struck.
Now for some more out there stuff, which I don't really believe in but it would fit well into this theory:
Frame No. 17 was also taken by Zolotaryov (still unsure how to focus) and really shows (at least what he believed) to be a Yeti
It wasn't noticed by anybody else and nobody believed him
He couldn't prove his sighting until the film was developed
Zolotaryov immediately asked for a fresh film so he could take many pictures when he saw it again
Thibeaux-Brignolle let him keep the camera for the time being because he felt Zolotaryov was really worried about this
On the fateful evening, the group made fun of Zolotaryov, writing that famous line in the Evening Otorten
Later, maybe they heard a noise and Zolotaryov wanted to investigate, maybe Thibeaux-Brignolle just asked him to step outside to discuss the matter because Zolotaryov was angry that nobody believed him
Then the disaster struck (in this case, maybe the Yeti)
This could explain the cameras, frame No. 17, why that film only contained 17 pictures (but was unloaded from the camera) and why they made the joke about the Yeti in the Newsletter. Of course believing that he really saw a Yeti is pretty wild. Maybe he actually photographed the Mansi Hunter but believed he was a Yeti. In that case the disaster could have been the Mansi or something entirely unrelated.
The damaged film could of course shed some light on this. Does anybody know if there are scans of the entire film roll and not just these enlarged areas shown here?

Re: Camera found on Zolotaryov's body may actually be Thibeaux-Brignolle's camera
I'm not 100% sure, but I think what's there is what they have managed to save from the camera they found on Zolotaryov's body.
Personally I think it's more likely that the camera is Tibo's than that it is an unidentified camera that wasn't found. The person who did the analysis on the website argued against it, but I find his arguments to be more of hand-waving away the evidence than persuasive proof. He's trying to push a certain theory and so the supposed murderers took the camera. Why they didn't take the other cameras or film, I wasn't invested enough in his theory to find out.
Of course, the question comes up as to why Zolotaryov took it on that fateful night with a whatever it was bearing down on them. As you mentioned, several investigators believe that Tibo and Zolotaryov were outside the tent, which means they may have likely been the first to realize that something out of the ordinary was happening. There's always been something of a puzzle with the flashlights, like the one on the tent and then there was supposed to be one with a dead battery. What Zolotaryov could have done, if he didn't have a working flashlight, is grab the camera and use the flash to see what was going on. One of the pictures in the damaged film does show a bright flash with what looks to be the heads of three people at the bottom. Some use the photograph to bolster the UFO or rocket theory. I wouldn't go that far because it could simply be overexposure. However, the most logical explanation, in my mind, is that he took a picture of the slope or sky above them to see what was going on, and, of course, he would still have had the camera with him when he and the others left the tent.
I don't believe in Bigfoot, but I honestly have a hard time wondering why anyone would use that picture to argue the existence of Bigfoot. I have seen plenty of other pictures that look way more authentic. For one thing, there's a hard line at the figure's waist. So either Bigfoot only has fur from the waist down or his fur abruptly changes to a darker shade at his waist and heading downwards, or he's wearing clothes where his trousers are a darker shade than the jacket he's wearing …you know, like Tibo! Maybe he stole Tibo's clothes. Also, he must have stolen Tibo's skis as well, because there is a definite ski track going from the photographer right to the figure. Nice to know Bigfoot figured out how to ski.
Joking aside, I know the figure looks beefier than Tibo, but I've been hanging around conspiracy theories long enough and trying to figure out why a black dog would kill Kennedy and whether that's the Loch Ness monster or a kid's bath toy to know that you can't always trust the proportions in a photograph, especially from an older camera. And some of the beefiness is definitely being caused by the fuzziness of the picture. I think it is more likely that Zolotaryov and Tibo might have been playing a joke on the other team members by staging this scene to look like a Bigfoot sighting. They were the fun-loving ones. That being the case, they could have even done something to make Tibo look more ape-shaped, like maybe stuffing clothes under his jacket or him putting on more layers of clothing.
I don't know that I would have the talent to do it, but if you have certain information about the camera found on Zolotaryov, like focal lens and what not, you can figure the size of objects in the photograph, as well the photographer. Of course, that would only mean that it was the camera on Zolotaryov or a camera that had the same specifications. However, one good thing about Zolotaryov is that he was quite a bit taller than all the others, with the exception of Doroshenko. So having the camera specifications and putting in the calculations, if it turned out to be a large person, it could only be Zolotaryov, Doronshenko, or one of the others standing on something, like a tree stump. Probably, with at least one of the pictures, you could narrow it down even further just by the surroundings and the placement of other people in the group

Yeah, I think the more likely explanation for Frame No. 17 is that it's just one of the hikers and maybe the photographer, looking through the viewfinder and seeing the out of focus person (just like in the picture) commented that it kinda looks like a Yeti. They all had a good laugh about it and that's why they made the joke in the Evening Otorten.
What I don't understand is why everyone seems to assume that Thibeaux-Brignolle must have had an extra camera that went missing. Why shouldn't it be that camera found on Zolotaryov's body? For all that matters the roll of film could have been taken with one of the other cameras as well, depending on the chronology of the pictures.
As for the "three heads picture", that has been disproven here:
https://forum.dyatlovpass.com/index.php?topic=648.30
See Post No. 50.
The three heads picture isn't even from the camera found on Zolotaryov's body, it's actually just a magnified cutout of frame 34 from Krivonischenko's camera.
Because of this I'm very skeptical that any of the alleged pictures presented here are actually from the camera on Zolotaryov's body.
https://dyatlovpass.com/controversy?flp=1#zolotaryovcamera
Thanks for pointing that post out. I never thought it would be much help in figuring out what happened anyway. I think the whole thing with the cameras is that Yuri Yudin was surprised that Zolotaryov's body was found with a camera. He thought the group only had four cameras, but it's not exactly sinister to me that he didn't know about Zolotaryov's camera, as the roll of film had been used up and he had no extra film rolls (evidently), so he was certainly not going to be taking pictures with it. So, obviously, a fifth camera would be a shock to Yuri, but that in itself doesn't identify the owners of the found cameras. I know the question comes up as to why Zolotaryov would take his camera in the first place, but sometimes I think the way the story ended tends to blind us to more mundane explanations. He could have simply forgot he had used up the entire roll and didn't bring any new rolls. He was a late addition to the group anyway, and even Zina said they forgot stuff, and the others would have had more time to plan. I do find it intriguing that he took the camera that night. People normally don't do that if they're going out simply to take a leak, especially in the bitter cold after the sun went down. The other option is that he went out, but then came back for it, in the middle of an avalanche or a windstorm or an alien attack (fill in the blank with whatever theory you subscribe to). There may be a mundane explanation for him doing that also, but it's harder to think of one in that situation.
